[Rob Lainchbury]

Anyone up for a game of LOTR/Hobbit for a bit of practice before the campaign starts? I have spare armies if anyone needs them.

Let me check with Matt (brightblade) as he might be after a game...

Sweet!

I would love a game! What's this about a campaign?

How would you like to play? Points? Which army are you using? Etc...

We can do points if you like? 500-600? That seems a fairly standard points game. We could do one one of the 6 new scenarios (in the the front of the source books),lords of battle, high ground..... Etc... I believe you have to roll to see which one you get. There all based around victory points rather than to the death.

I can play high elves, uruks, Mordor, Harad, dwarves, gondor, rohan.....(list is endless). However, I'm playing Harad in the campaign, so would be good to give them a run about. Just a word of warning I would have to play a Mumak to make 500-600 points of pure Harad. Or I can play with a mix of Harad and Mordor if you don't want to face a Mumak. (I can understand why).

A Harad army I can make for 600 points;

1 Mumak with rocks + tusk weapons 315 points
12 haradrim warriors with bow + shooting upgrade (+3 shoot value) 108 points
9 haradrim with spear 63 points
3 haradrim with spear and courage upgrade (4) 24 points
Either hasharin or suladan (both 90 points)

This makes 600 points


Or I can make 500 Harad with Mordor ally

Knight of umbar on armoured horse
6 wargs

9 Harad with bow and shoot upgrade
6 Harad with spear
3 Harad with spear and courage upgrade
1 hasharin
1 chieftain with spear

Which would you prefer!!!
